I stayed at the Aria a few weeks ago. It is a very nice upscale and beautiful hotel. It is a large hotel and can overwhelm when you first arrive. Check-in is friendly and rather quick for the lines they have. Most of the stores, bars and restaurants are what I would consider to be upscale. It is in a nice location which is located in the midst of the strip. The rooms were comfortable. Technology at its best with remote lighting, curtains, etc. Overall, it was a great experience.
